I can afford any of these options but I hate wasting money. I don’t care about the Fairdale logo, it’s just the quality of ride and efficiency that concerns me. I am not experienced enough to know what I might be missing.

Thanks
It's always good to have a spare set of wheels, just in case you have a problem with one.

What is the problem with the hubs? I'm surprised a shop would sell a re-build around a low-end hubset.
